Personal Statement
Red Harbour specialises in conferences of all shapes and sizes whether they’re in-person, hybrid, or fully online. We also create award ceremonies, receptions, and dinners that bring people together in meaningful ways. Our approach is characterised by innovation and creativity, as we infuse each project with fresh ideas and tailored solutions.
Role & Skill Areas
I’m Claire Hunter, and I founded Red Harbour Events in 2008, inspired by connection and bringing people together. After 10 years in the conference and events sector, I wanted to build something that put connection at the centre.
I have delivered large-scale projects across diverse sectors including sport, the arts, association and medical conferences, charity, and the third sector. This breadth of experience has allowed me to apply transferable skills and bring fresh perspectives to each project.
Alongside my practical expertise, I have invested in ongoing professional development through the Event Leadership Institute, completing courses in 'Enhancing Events with AI' and 'Hybrid and Virtual Event Director'. I also hold an 'Executive Certificate in Event Management' from Napier University.
